All last year they kill Hanley for not caring. This year they kill him for trying to make a play. I want no part of the Fellowship of the Miserable.
I am all for bunting for a hit in situations many "baseball people" believe is stupid. Most of the time they think it's stupid its a player trying to make a play when the other team least expects it, wow what a concept trying to get on base huh?
Having said that with Papi on 3rd, he's slow fat not great on the base paths, and #2 Hanley is killing the ball for the most part - he needs to swing away. But killing him for it, just stupid people. Thinking it's not smart in the situation is ok but he actually was "trying to make a play." Good for him.
If you're Mark Texierra right now and they play you to pull and you don't bunt down 3rd anywhere - that's stupid. Only way he can get on base.
